This review has definitely been in the hopper for too long. I purchased this ink back in April at the Atlanta Pen Show, and have been using it fairly frequently. It's a dark, wine-toned purple that provides a different option from the "Bordeaux" inks out there. Most wine-themed inks tend to fall on the reddish side--this one leans purple, and I like it.
Callifolio uses the same triangular bottle that Diamine used for their 150th Anniversary Inks. Other manufacturers have used this bottle as well. If you collect enough of them (8, I believe?) they will fit together to form a circle.
Much like Callifolio Equinoxe 6, which I reviewed back in June, Bourgogne is well-behaved without any noticeable feathering or bleedthrough, and flushes out of a pen easily. Reds and Purples can be high-maintenance and difficult to clean due to the dyes used to achieve the specific colors, but I didn't have any problems with the Callifolio. As you can see, the ink dries quite dark, making this a good option for work. Like the Equinoxe 6, it also dries very quickly, even in this wet-writing vintage Parker. I have little patience for finicky inks these days, and I really wanted to like the Callifolio, so I'm glad its highly usable!

Callifolio inks can be purchased from Vanness Pen Shop. They are priced at $11 for a 40ml bottle, and at $8 for a 50ml foil pouch (which is the more economical option, provided that you have an empty bottle in which to store the ink).
